Speaking of which, for those not on the mailing list (and why aren't you on it anyway? Go sign up at luauatthelake.com today!)…. Bargoyle's latest note was all about the room crawl so heads up veteran and rookie hosts!

So, without further ado, let’s celebrate the return of spring (in name only it appears... Is it EVER going to stop snowing and warm up!?!?!) with a chat about one of my favorite parts of Ohana weekend…

THE ROOM CRAWL!!!!!!!!

Easily one of the highlights of Ohana, and more amazing every year, the room crawl is all about YOU. You folks just keep bringing it!! And of course we’re going to do it again.

For the uninitiated, the room crawl is a round robin, hosted by our guests, on Friday night. They open the doors to their hotel room (often decorated with a theme) and serve a cocktail and/or snacks to all the attendees. Their creativity, generosity, and Aloha know no bounds. Keep in mind that they do this out of the spirit of Aloha (and out of their own pockets!), and they make Friday night the over the top spectacle that it is, so if you visit a room, TIP them, and tip them well!!

If you’re an old veteran who constantly hosts, you have our unending gratitude, and we can’t wait to see what you have in store for us this year!

If you’ve been a crawler, and you think this might be the year to pay back some of that aloha by hosting, that’s double-plus awesome!!! We’d love to have ya, and can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Either way, to host a room you need to get in touch with our Room Crawl Coordinator, Reverend Thumper. Email the Rev at geoffb91@gmail.com

PLUS, our friends at DeadHead Rum are joining us again, and not only are they donating some killer swag for the bags, but they’re also going to host a room as well!! These folks get it. And they’ve got the coolest packaging in the entirety of boozedom. Hit up http://www.facebook.com/DeadheadRum and give ‘em the thumb and visit them at http://www.deadheadrum.com to soak up the awesome.
